GOeuroka a blockchain based platform about to go live is offering customers the opportunity to book from a wide selection of 400,000 hotels, with more additions to be made in the future. This blockchain powered hotel booking platform is built on the Ethereum blockchain.

This soft alpha version of the GOeuroka platform has been released, enabling users to book hotel rooms with absolutely zero commission, receive loyalty benefits and rewards, without any hidden fee or charge. With the launch of this platform, GOeureka will become one of the few to actually try hotel bookings on the Ethereum blockchain through smart contracts. Asides from being launched on the Ethereum network, the GOeureka platform has an existing infrastructure of hotels that have been made available to them.

According to reports, the number of hotels listed on the GOeureka platform is gradually increasing, thus, giving them a much significant edge over their competitors both in the blockchain world and outside. There are a handful of hotel booking sites that have gained prominence, most charging about 10 to over 30% commission on each room rate. Often times, this fee happens at the backend of the site, with little or no transparency of cost to the consumer.

How GOeureka Will Change The Hotel Booking Industry
